Old Freight Station Dessau, 2013 #5

Old Freight Station (Güterbahnhof) #5

Freight Station Dessau 5 – I

After the Wende (“turning point”) in 1989 and the subsequent reunification of Germany, people had high hopes for a turnaround of the East of Germany, an economic upswing, a change for the better. Some of it has happened, yet a lot of it has not. There was a movement of a lot of people from East to West, and quite a bit of infrastructure was never fully restored.

I happened onto the Old Freight Station on a walk and was instantly taken with it.
